The Coming Postrnaster-Genera

Chicago Mail.
Mr. Dickinson is of medium height, slender,
sinewy, alert and resolute in appearance. He
talks like man whose mind is habitually con-
centrated on whatever engages his attention.
He walks like man that was fully resolved on
reaching exactly the spot he sets out to go to.
His right shoulder leads the way of his agile
body, with little eagernesss to go ahead and
push any obstacles aside that may chance to be
in the way. His features are regular and in
clned to sharpness.
Wien in conversation he looks straight
in the face through pair of Keen, candid and
pleasant gray eyes. He is liable to drop his
head slightly when in Thoughts. His language is
not nicetv. He is q native of Detroit. was edu-
Gated in her schools, and has spent all his life
there, except for his occasional trips throughout
the country. He studied law after leaving
school, and became in a short time of the
trusted practitioners at local bar contalning
many men of acknowledged ability, his seniors
in years. He is not a popular orator in the
sense of firing the rural heart, but at the bar,
where q is heard oftenest. he is known as
close reasoner, apt in striking straight for con-
stitutional principle, and at the same time re-
fined, well forcible. He made decided
impression in the telephone cases in the United
States Supreme Court
He has no affectation of dress, speech or man
ners. His whiskers are in mutton chop style.
and somewhat long, constituting the only per-
keeping his own counsel self-relant, silent
when prudence makes speech doubtful, gacious
and courteous Those who know him in timate-
ly expect that the young man will make a strong
impression within six months the whole
country.

DR.. Parker ON Evangelical Preaching.

Report OF Meeting in Chicago
Having remarked upon evangelical preaching
as more likely than any other to touch every
point of human life Dr. Parker suggested that
it might be well to hold conference in Chicago,
and that the conference should be conducted
upon the freest possible ines, and that discus
sion from every point of view should be
couraged. He said: - ''If in evangelical preach
ing we are wrong. by all means let know it.
If any man has larger wisdom truer
method of meeting the necessities of the age, l.
for one am qnite- prepared to extinguish my
little lamp and to let in his fuller sunshine All
we should aim at is to be right. and to be doing
the largest amount of good. This is the spirit
in which wish to work.

An Old Time Hole Borer.

q began drilling holes in the ground" said MT. Delany, a driller of gas wells, in answer to an inquiring reporter, fin lS6O, and have been at it ever since-that'S twenty-seven years-exeept three years I was in the army. The drills then were lighter than we use now, and they have been greatly improved since. though there has been little improvement in tools in the last five years. We frequently struck gas in those days in good quan- titles, but we didn't want it then; we were boring for oil. It takes four men to operate a well, and the machinery is ex- pensive. The men work day and night two day and two night, changing at 12 o'clock at noon. One of the two men intends to the engine and boiler and dresses the tools, and the other attends to the well and the drill. The tools re- quire constant. sharpening. It is a mis- take to suppose that any men can do this sort of work. Men of experience are re- quired; common labor cannot do it. The largest oil well I ever bored, believe, yielded 5000 barrels every twenty-four hours. That was the property of the Forest Oil company. and was located in Warren county, Pa I do not know what it yields now, probably very little. I had plenty of work during the oil excitement | in Pennsylvania, and that was probably | the widest excitement ever seen, going far ahead of the gold excitement in Cali 1 iornia We do not need to go near SC deep to strike gas as to get oil. Every
 well in Indiana where gas has been struck
 stopped ct less depth than thousand | feet. It IS largely matter of guess
 work, or luck. We can tell nothing iron
 the outside, because there are no surface
 indications. .''-Indianapolis Journal.

To Unseal an Envelope.

Occasionally one seals an envelope with out an inclosure, CT after addressing and stamping it thinks of something impC r. tant that should have been added to the letter. One way out of the dilemma is to take m eight inch piece of steel wire, bent at right angle in the center ito be held easily and of diameter half that of a lead pencil and inserting one end under the outside lap at one corner slowly crowd toward the center of the envelope. Keep the round steel exactly across the gum streak or the lap will be torn. Arriving at the center start down in the same way from the other corner. I have seen people try to do this thing with . lead pincil, but with poor success. The angle made by the separating laps was too abrupt. The Writer ta-er .sf

Earth and Atmosphere.

If it were possible to rise above the at mosphere which surrounds the earth, we should see nothing but an intense and shapely defined ball of fire, while every thing else would be wrapped in total dark ness. There could be no difference of light without an atmosphere or some sim liar medium for it to act upon; but if the air around us extended to height of TOO miles, the rays of the sun could not pene- trate it, and we should be left in dark ness. At the depth of zoo feet in the ocean the light ceases altogether, one-half of the light being absorbed in passing through seven feet of the purest water.- Boston Budget.

HAIR OIL. AND HAIR DYE.

Few Men Use Them NOwadays-Gray
 Hair Rather Fashionable.
 'sVery few men want oil OH their hair nowadays" said & barber to reporter. 'A few years ago the man who didn't use hair oil was the exception; now the mau who does use it is the exception. or course we are glad of the change in taste, for it is money in our pockets. Five years ago had to have @ fresh supply of oil twice Q week; now the same quantity will last me Q month"
 "How about dyeing the hair and beard?' the reporter asked.
 'There has been greater falling off in the use of dye than in the use of hair oil, " the barber continued. "A few years ago there was large class of gay old fellows who dyed their hair and whiskers almost as regularly as they shaved. Most of these men were more or less inclined to be sports or beaus, and always wanted to look as young ns possible. Others, how ever, were respectable and steady going citizens and business men, who gave in to their vanity enough to want to keep look ing young. There was a large class of out and out gamblers and sharpers who seemed to have an idea it was out of keep ing with their profession to have anything but jet black whiskers and mustaches So that nearly all gamblers or sports who had red or sandy hair on their face, or on their head, for that matter, used to have it dyed regularly as black as they could get it. A few of these are still around town. It's easy enough to tell them, because their eyebrows don't match the rest of the hair on their face" ''So you don't have much use for hair dye nowadays?' the reporter interrogated. k1I .,F rfoI cences and reflections, which, contrary to the traditions of the craft, seemed to show signs of drying up.

He is young fellow, whose hair is black, or nearly black, while his eye brows and beard are sandy. He has his l whiskers and eyebrows dyed to match his hair, regularly twice month.

When they really begin to grow old that is, when they get within few laps Of 50-they get sensitive about it, how ever, and if they are not bald frequently inquire es to the means for preventing the hair from turning gray, etc.
 ''Oh, yes, q great many men use cos metic on their mustaches," the barber continued, in response to a suggestion
